Body die and Lee Collet vs FL sizing?

[Igloo]

Would you guys have a preference between resizing 6.5 Creedmoor brass using a Redding body sizer and Lee collet die, or just FL sizing with a Redding FL die set?

Or am i really just overthinking this?

Currently have a Lee 4 die set but their FL die seems to suck.

I only use a Lee collet die for all my resizing unless I’m going to shoot the brass in a different rifle or they start to get slightly tight going in the chamber. If I need to resize the body, I like to use a Redding small base body die to get them back to a minimum spec.
I think a lot of others on here use the same practices with their reloading as well.

Tried the Lee Collet Die on once fired Starline brass from my Tikka, and it chambers with perceptible resistance. A couple pieces, more than that

I use the Redding Body die and Lee Collet die for 7mm-08. Not sure you’ll notice much difference at the target from FL sizing, but I convinced myself it’s the best way without stressing brass too much.

That is what you want, your brass will last forever.

You want it to actually take effort to close the bolt on your brass? Doesn't sound like your bolt lugs will last forever.

Why should I believe the brass will last any longer than with a slight resize?

That's pretty much where my mind was at...and why I was wondering if i was overthinking vs just plain resizing.
